23 kali: when did we last meet

even though

i passed by your temple every day

did we meet at all

you weighed the offerings

the earrings, the necklace, the braclets and the kind

you were covered with garlands that devotees brought

may be, the aroma of those flowers

had soothed your nerves

so much

that a few crumpled leave i offered

did not make you open your eyes;

stay asleep

who knows some day when all flowers have dried

and when leaves have been assimalted

by the ants underneath your feet

you will remember

the feeble sounds of the bells

i rang

when i left your temple empty handed

  1. Sir, this one is really woderful and very touchy. It gives me feeling
    as if a small child sharing his ideas with the great lord with his innocent words.

    Very nice sir. Today i feel , i m so dull that i cant give a shape to my feelings in such a nice way.

    Sometimes, we do feel something but dont find any words to express..

    But you are really great.

    I was not aware about this imaginative side of yours sir.

    Great….keep it up

    Alka
